Privileged Access Management (PAM)

Q: How is Netwrix different from other PAM solutions?

Unlike other privileged access management software that only vaults credentials, Netwrix Privilege Secure eliminates standing privileges and removes lateral movement attack surfaces. It enables just-in-time access, creating privileges only when needed and revoking them immediately after use. This Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) approach ensures attackers have nothing to compromise.

Q: Is Netwrix Privilege Secure easy to deploy?

Yes, Netwrix Privilege Secure is a PAM tool that can be initially deployed in less than 20 minutes, with full deployment typically completed in under one day. The solution integrates seamlessly with existing IT environments, reducing implementation complexity and ensuring rapid time-to-value.

Q: How much does PAM software cost?

It depends on your organization and your needs. Reach out to our team to learn more about PAM pricing.

Shrink your attack surface with Zero Standing Privilege. Netwrix Privilege Secure provides just-in-time access, session monitoring, and post-session cleanup.

What is PAM?

Privileged access management (PAM) is the set of policies, controls, and processes organizations use to secure, monitor, and time-limit access for admin accounts, service accounts, and other high-risk credentials. It combines privileged access and session management (PASM), which vaults and monitors shared admin credentials, with privilege elevation and delegation management (PEDM), which grants temporary, task-specific elevation on demand, so no account carries standing, always-on access it doesn't need.

The problem

Attackers are logging in, not just breaking in. Without visibility and control, blind spots become breaches.

Too many unmanaged accounts

Permanent admin rights give attackers easy targets to exploit, and 66% of organizations report some or most privileged roles still carry standing, always-on access.

Service accounts create hidden risk

Unmanaged service and task accounts hold powerful credentials attackers can exploit.

No visibility into privileged activity

Without monitoring, risky behavior and policy violations go unnoticed.

Remote access remains risky

VPNs and ad hoc connections are hard to secure or audit, and only 13% of organizations manage third-party privileged access through a system integrated with identity governance or PAM, according to the 2026 Data and Identity Security Report.

Our solution

Netwrix PAM solutions put you in control of privileged access

Privilege sprawl creates hidden risks and takes too much time to manage manually. The Netwrix Privileged Access Management solution addresses these challenges with Zero Standing Privilege by design, continuous discovery, automated least privilege enforcement, and full session monitoring. The result is less risk, easier audits, and stronger compliance without added complexity.

Zero Standing Privileges

Replace standing admin rights with just-in-time access that is removed when the session ends.

Session monitoring and control

See privileged activity as it happens, record every session, and stop suspicious behavior immediately.

Continuous discovery of privileged accounts

Automatically identify and remove hidden or unnecessary accounts before they can be exploited.

Secure remote access without VPNs

Enable safe, auditable access to critical systems from anywhere with MFA and full session logging.

How Netwrix compares to vault-only PAM tools

BeyondTrust / Delinea / CyberArk

Netwrix Privilege Secure

Standing access between sessions

Built around vaulting and credential rotation; standing-privilege elimination is available as an added capability, not the default architecture.

Eliminates standing privilege by design with just-in-time, time-boxed access

Endpoint privilege elevation

Typically requires a separate product or module

Included natively via Netwrix Endpoint Privilege Manager (Windows and macOS)

Identity governance depth

Integrates with AD/Entra as an identity provider, but doesn't natively resolve group-nested permissions or account lifecycle.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) FAQs

Have questions? We’ve got answers.

How is Netwrix different from other PAM solutions?

Can Netwrix help with Cybersecurity Insurance compliance?

Yes, implementing a privileged access management system like Netwrix Privilege Secure can help organizations meet Cybersecurity Insurance requirements. Features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), privileged session monitoring, and just-in-time access help prevent unauthorized access and privilege misuse. Demonstrating these controls can improve compliance posture and may lower cybersecurity insurance premiums.

Is Netwrix Privilege Secure easy to deploy?

How does Secure Remote Access enhance security compared to traditional remote access solutions?

Netwrix Secure Remote Access is a PAM tool that eliminates the need for VPNs and traditional RDP gateways, reducing attack surfaces and preventing unauthorized access. It provides just-in-time, time-limited access with multi-factor authentication (MFA), full session recording, and real-time monitoring. Security teams can instantly terminate suspicious sessions, ensuring complete control and visibility over remote privileged access.

How does Netwrix Password Secure improve credential security and management?

Netwrix Password Secure is privileged access management software that provides centralized, role-based access to privileged credentials while enforcing password rotation, complexity policies, and MFA to reduce the risk of credential-based attacks. Unlike traditional password managers, it offers audit trails, compliance reporting, and secure sharing to help organizations meet industry regulations while ensuring only authorized users can access sensitive accounts.
